Happy 1st Birthday Kristen!!!

We were super lucky to be able to come down to North Carolina to celebrate Kristen's first birthday and be here for Easter.  Nathan's other cousin Madyson was also down with Grandma and Grandpa Replogle.  Today we went to an Easter Egg Hunt at their church and then in the evening we celebrated Kristen's birthday with friends Mikki, Logan, and Isabella.  We have had a wonderful time and can't wait for Easter tomorrow.

Again, the birthday girl!!!!

 

 

 Birthday presents are shared and opened by all of the family and friends.

A great day was had by all!!

Playing in the Snow

Kelsey has been practicing going down stairs by herself at the gym.  She tried it this morning and did a great job! 

 

 



 This is my Spring Break from school and wouldn't you know it we get snow.  Kelsey has not wanted to go into the snow, but I finally got her to go. Emily came over to play outside and stayed until naptime.  We went out two times and made three snowmen in all.  I think Kelsey likes the snow now.

 

 

Chef Kelsey

Kelsey loves to stand on our stool in the kitchen and "help" make things.  Here are some of the times she has helped.  Thanks NanNan and PopPop for the apron!

These were pancakes we had for dinner one night.  Mark tried to get fancy. 

 

We made cookies together while I was off on a "snow" day.  It mainly rained that day, oh well, we got cookies out of the day. :-)

 

 

Finally Florida

So I was going to blog more pictures from our time in Florida, but Jenelle did such a great job that I figured everyone should go and check out their blog at www.adventuresofsmi.blogspot.com

Happy St. Paddy's Day!

Happy St. Paddy's Day!  Mark is in Florida for Phillies Spring Training with most of his family.  NanNan is here with us having a grand time with Kelsey.  Hope everyone is doing well!  Love to all!
